Super-high Super Bowl ticket prices in Indy

Until somebody puts a dome over Soldier Field (imagine how that would look), next week's Super Bowl in Indianapolis will be the closest the big game ever gets to Chicago. There are seats available if you're thinking of making three-and-a-half hour drive.

For a price, of course.

Stubhub.com had nearly 3,000 tickets listed late Monday afternoon. The cheapest was $2,500 for a pair of end-zone terrace seats.

If you wouldn't be caught dead in the end zone, you could spend upwards of $20,000 for a seat in a luxury box. Stubhub even listed a full suite for a cool $550,000. But that won't get you munching on jumbo shrimp just yet — there's a service charge of $55,000.

And here's my favorite: a $15 fee for same-day ticket pickup. For $605,000, you would think Stubhub would waive the $15 fee.

All things considered, I think I'll just watch the game from home.

Tough day: More than 57 million tuned into the NFC title game Sunday night on Fox Sports. I felt extremely bad for the one father who definitely was watching, assuming he wasn't at the game. Imagine what it was like for Sox GM Kenny Williams to suffer through his son Kyle Williams' pivotal fumbles.

On sale: Tickets for the Blackhawks annual summer convention go on sale today. Best act quickly since the event has sold out in recent years. Here's the link for more information.

Quiz show: For those who miss the “Stump the Schwab” quiz show that used to air on ESPN (a favorite of mine), MLB Network is set to debut the baseball version. “Baseball IQ” airs Tuesday at 8 p.m.

The show features participants from all 30 teams answering baseball trivia questions. Dan Fabian, director of baseball operations, represents the Sox, and Ryan Balogh, an account executive in corporate partnerships, bats for the Cubs.

New man: The Western Golf Association has named Jim Bunch its new chairman. Mr. Bunch first learned the game as a caddie at the Glen View Club in north suburban Golf.

Now living in Denver, he is a managing member of Grumman Hill Group LLC, a private-equity firm primarily funding middle-market companies.
